The Caucasian Chalk Circle: techniques

Brechtian techniques

Props on stage (formed stage and set from these)
Gestus (cradling baby)
Random comedy (Grusha crossing the bridge)
Asides (Grusha telling audience her plan)
Multi-roling (several actors became one another for some of the play)
Placards (scene names written on them)
Synchronised/ choreographed movement (moving props around stage repetitively to a rhythm)
Ambiguous title (no attachment, open-ended allergorical drama)
Chaos/ confusion (monologue happening at the same time as other actors saying lines and moving props)
Costumes were not time period-specific (high-vis jacket, petticoat, wellies)
Actors had their back to the audience (audience became the jury during the court scene)
